It's incredible how many things are STRANGE BUT TRUE. But did you know, even more things are actually STRANGE BUT FALSE?

I just want the record to reflect I’m not seeing MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE for one very specific reason and if not for that I’d be there opening weekend.

“Drowning doesn’t look like drowning“ is also an excellent metaphor for depression.
Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed.

I did not know Colbert when I sat beside him at his desk. The first time we shook hands was just prior to this photo being taken, when I walked onto his stage and, under the applause, he asked if he had properly pronounced my last name. Which he did.

Emotions like these are your brain’s way of using your body to let you know something’s really fucking wrong. Never apologize for them.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I once shot an interview with Paris haute couture designer Christian Lacroix and the interviewer asked him about his use of such bright colors in his designs. He said the world is becoming increasingly grey and color is his weapon to fight back. That stuck with me.

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple:
there is enough.
there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.

why don't we?
